Faux-Pearl And Crystal-Embellished Cotton Dress

Simone Rocha looks to the low necklines and full skirts of the Restoration period to create this cream dress, inspired by Nell Gwyn, actress and mistress of Charles II. It’s shaped from cotton canvas with a scoop neck and fitted bodice defined by flat seams which mimic the effect of boning, trimmed with glossy faux pearls and white crystals, then flares to a sculpted skirt.

• 100% cotton
• Lining: 100% acetate
